Sacred Lands: Egypt & Jordan Spiritual Journey

Overnight: Cairo
Upon arrival in Cairo, you are met and assisted through formalities before being
privately transferred to your hotel.
The remainder of the day is intentionally unstructured — allowing the body and mind
to arrive fully.
In the evening, guests are invited to set a personal intention for the pilgrimage ahead.

Overnight: Cairo
This morning you journey to the Giza Plateau, one of the most potent energetic sites on
Earth.
You explore the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the
plateau. Time is given not only for explanation, but for stillness and contemplation.
Optional entry inside the Great Pyramid offers a rare opportunity for silent reflection
within the ancient chambers.

Overnight: Luxor
Crossing the Nile to the West Bank, you enter the realm of death and rebirth.
You explore selected tombs in the Valley of the Kings, followed by the elegant Temple
of Hatshepsut, built in harmony with the cliffs.
At Medinet Habu, one of Egypt’s most intact temples, powerful reliefs speak of cosmic
order restored after chaos.

Overnight: Abydos / Sohag area
An early journey leads to Abydos, Egypt’s most sacred pilgrimage site.
Here stands the Temple of Seti I, dedicated to Osiris — god of resurrection and eternal
life.
Time is deliberately unhurried, allowing space to experience Abydos beyond
explanation.
For many, this day becomes the spiritual heart of the entire journey.

Overnight: Dahabiya (Nile)
After a final morning moment in Abydos, you return to Luxor — not to continue by
road, but to change the rhythm of the journey.
By midday, you board your traditional Dahabiya sailboat, a timeless vessel that moves
with the current rather than against it.
As the sails rise, the Nile becomes your guide.
The afternoon is dedicated to sailing, stillness, and observation — palm-lined banks,
villages, birds, and silence.

Overnight: Dahabiya
This morning, the Dahabiya docks near Esna Temple, dedicated to Khnum — the
creator god who shaped humanity on his potter’s wheel.
Unlike crowded temples, Esna offers an intimate experience, allowing space for
reflection and quiet exploration.
The remainder of the day is spent sailing south, with meals served onboard and time
to rest on deck beneath the open sky.

Overnight: Dahabiya
Arriving at Edfu Temple, you visit one of Egypt’s best-preserved sanctuaries, dedicated
to Horus — the falcon god of clarity, protection, and divine sight.
The temple’s narrative of chaos overcome by order mirrors the inner work of
pilgrimage.
In the afternoon, the Dahabiya continues its gentle course, anchoring for the night in a
quiet riverside location.

Overnight: Dahabiya
Today you visit Kom Ombo Temple, uniquely dedicated to two gods: Sobek and Horus
the Elder.
Here, duality is not conflict, but balance — masculine and feminine, light and shadow,
instinct and awareness.
Sailing resumes afterward, with a peaceful evening onboard and stargazing from the
deck.

Overnight: Aswan
This morning you disembark in Aswan and journey by boat to Philae Temple, the final
active sanctuary of ancient Egypt and a powerful center of Isis worship.
The temple’s island setting, surrounded by water, offers a soft yet potent closing to the
Nile passage.
After the visit, transfer to your Nile-side hotel in Aswan for rest and reflection.

Overnight: Abu Simbel
Before dawn, you depart for Abu Simbel, traveling deep into Nubia.
The colossal temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari rise from the desert —
monuments of solar alignment, devotion, and eternity.
Unlike rushed day trips, this itinerary allows time for presence and absorption.

Overnight: Aswan
Return to Aswan mid-day.
This afternoon is intentionally free — for rest, journaling, or an optional sunset felucca
sail on the Nile.
The river that carried you now asks you to pause and integrate.

Overnight: Sharm El Sheikh
You fly to the Red Sea, transitioning from river to ocean.
The change of element — from earth and stone to water and horizon — marks a
softening before Sinai.

Overnight: St. Catherine / Dahab area
Late at night, you travel to St. Catherine to begin the ascent of Mount Sinai.
Climbing under the stars, you reach the summit in time for sunrise — a moment of
silence, awe, and revelation.
After descending, you visit St. Catherine’s Monastery, keeper of ancient manuscripts
and sacred continuity.

Overnight: Dahab
A full day of rest by the Red Sea.
Swim, snorkel, walk, or simply rest — allowing the body to receive what the soul has
encountered.

Overnight: Petra
Travel to the Taba border, cross into Jordan, and continue north through Aqaba to
Petra.
The route echoes ancient trade and pilgrimage paths linking Africa and Arabia.

Day use / Departure from Amman
A full exploration of Petra, entering through the Siq and emerging before the Treasury.
Petra is not merely a city — it is a final initiation, carved rather than constructed.
After the visit, transfer to the Dead Sea for floating and mineral immersion, followed by
departure from Amman.

Overnight: Dead Sea (Jordan)
After completing your exploration of Petra, you travel north through Jordan’s dramatic
landscapes to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth.
Here, effort dissolves.
You float effortlessly in mineral-rich waters, allowing the body to absorb and release
— muscles soften, the nervous system settles, and the journey completes itself
without words.
The afternoon is free:
● Floating & mineral mud experience
● Spa treatments (optional)
● Silent reflection by the water
Farewell evening at the resort, marking the closing of the pilgrimage.

Location: Amman, Jordan
After breakfast at your Dead Sea resort, you are privately transferred to Queen Alia
International Airport (AMM) for your onward journey home.
As the lowest point on Earth gives way to the open sky, this final morning offers a
quiet moment of completion — a return not only across borders, but inward, carrying
the experiences, insights, and transformations of the journey with you.
Our team will assist with airport formalities to ensure a smooth and unhurried
departure.
